Hey look, something worth reading/looking at was posted on LUGNET today!
The amount of SNOT you put into your models is incredible, James. I was
wondering how structurally sound your designs are, however. Do some parts
tend to fall off if handled the wrong way? In my constructions, I always
try to attach parts in at least two places. If a part isn't supposed to
move (say, an angled decorative element), I try as hard as I can to anchor
it so it won't move. That way, the model always looks like it's supposed to
look. How many people take similar approaches?

| It's a US-proto freight loco, folks: Well, I got the itch just to try a design study for an 8-wide US diesel locomotive. I see this type of locomotive frequently here in the high desert of central New Mexico. They're HUGE! It's only a design study (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
